Get factory measure specs for the front clip of the car. cross measure for straightness. then do as the others say and get A new rad support with headlight pocket. my advice is to pull the damage out by parking your car between a tree ( front facing a big tree) and ancoring the *** end to a large vehicle (Truck). Get A manual come-a-long or winch and strap it to the tree and then to the front of your car where the primary damage and begin to pull it out slowly, taking measurements as you go. works alright for tie-bars, rad supports, light pockets, etc....havent tried frames yet.... worked for me on a buddies prelude once......(smashed quarter panel). if you get the most of the damage straightened out by pulling and pounding with a BMH (big fucken hammer), it should make replacing parts easier.

haha thats scary when that happens there are a few attachments i use as last resort on the frame rack at work haha.. its scary ---- when they slip off, or when a tab rips haha, but the come along and tree and securing the car with a pole or truck. it would be pretty simple.

Yep that works good, that is how I got the damaged rad support. Right now the car is buried in snow (as is the donor car from which I must remove the good rad support) So it won't be repaired until next spring.

Senor sikcrx89, I'll keep my rear bumper, but the donor car where i get the rad support still has its own. If you can pick up, I think I could get it cheap for you, PM me for details.

As for pulling shape back in tied fron a tree, I'll see, but damage doesnt seem too important.

the car is very salvageable. try some local junk yards to see if you can get a clip if you need one. (unless you want to buy a parts car)

who ever mentioned the tree is sweet. there was a junkie body man who used to help do rebuilds on wrecked cars and thats how he got most of his frames straight. lol
